Nice post. This IS a great place - apart from the amazing info the forums are great fun, and even heated discussion is usually in good spirits.

Glad to hear you're enjoying the site, TheBeatlesJohn. Joe has created a fantastic community here, and all you beautiful Beatle people make the job of a moderator pretty easy. Having looked at some other forums on the web, we all show (most of the time) how this can, and should, be done!

I agree, and your topic reminded me of how I felt way back in the mists of time, long long ago, in another time and place, over 11 months ago when I was a newbie here. I had only been here three days at the time, and I posted a topic of gratitude for this site called "Kudos to Joe".

This forum is a nice combination of musical knowledge and more relaxed convo. Some folks who are more technically minded about music may not like that it's not super-vigilantly nerdy about it, and sometimes I wish there were more technical discussions or responses to some of my questions I've posed, but all in all it's a great place.

I'm just glad to see so many new faces here with the enthusiasm of new fans.

I agree. This has to be a very accepting group if even I am accepted.

Glad you like it! It is a very welcoming board. I was never treated like a "newbie".

They even put up with my antics. That means they are super nice. Stick around. It gets better and better all the time!

And then I have to purify the situation, only to see her antics continue... oy...

In all seriousness, this is becoming quite the fun place to be. Almost like our own demented cul-de-sac in the online world.

My fingertips cannot caress their true desire

so they drip longings onto the keys of my keyboard and onto this forum. Thank you all for putting up with my wayward fingertips.

I agree its a very friendly, nonjudgmental (for the most part) board, and welcoming forum. The whole website in itself is just awesome. Joe and the mods are doing a great job. Glad you are enjoying the forum.

Welcome to the madhouse, TheBeatlesJohn. The inmates are (usually) harmless! I reckon even Mark Lewisohn would be proud of this site.

Glad to hear you like it so much here - I rather do to!

As mja said, you're all so lovely and nice that there's hardly ever any problems. In fact, there are so little, there's almost no need for moderators. I've visited other sites where they could do with a few more than there appears to be.

I miss this place when I'm away

I agree with everything said above. I always thought i was a bit odd for being so obsessed about the Beatles. Then I found this site and realised I am most definitely not alone and you all feel the same as me! Maybe Beatles fans are just super nice people because I love you all!

Thank you Emily, Zig and mja 6758 and above all thank you Joe for creating such a wonderful, informative site.

Anyways, y'all are a lovely bunch of people always good to have a bit of a chat with your obsession, eh?

I just want to take the time to say that since I joined this site, there has not been one single person that I've not got on with

Well, that's probably because you've not encountered ME yet! lol j/k

Hooray for us all, and for you!

Thanks TheBeatlesJohn.

This is the only Forum of any kind I've ever joined. I have no desire to look elsewhere.
